Item Summary

Haganah-published underground newsletter titled Ha-Ḥomah ("The Wall"), published on December 10, 1947. This issue lists Haganah actions in Tel Aviv's Ha-Tikvah neighborhood on December 8, 1947, and describes contemporaneous Irgun actions in the city as undisciplined. It accuses Irgun fighters of creating chaos while relying on Haganah forces to protect them from the consequences of their provocations. In contrast, it portrays Haganah fighters as "united, organized, and disciplined" in battle.
